MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.

George w. Hill, well-known resident
of the Third ward, has disappeared in
very mysterious manner. Tuesday of
last week he told his wife that he was
going to Hartland to install off GERS in the
Masonic lodge at that place, and from
that time no trace of him has been found,
except that it is known he took the / 80 P.
NJ. train east on that day, and went directly
through to Chicago. There all trace of
him was lost, although every effort has
been made to find him. Suspicious of
foul play were at first feared, but now it
is the general opinion that his absence
is voluntary. Investigations show that
he borrowed considerable money from
different parties before leaving, and that
he owed quite an amount here in town,
though it is claimed none of these debts
were pressing and can only partially ac>
count for his actions. Mrs. Hill is COM
pletely Frustrated over the affair, and
grave fears for the result in her case are
apprehended.
Up to the moment of his leaving Mr..
Hill had the confidence and esteem of
the entire community. He was COM
handing good wages as the head baker at
Woodland & Stones bakery, and had
worked for them for years. Both he and
Mrs. Hill were prominent in all social
gatherings. He was not considered ex-
travagant in any way, and his actions are
complete surprise to all his friends.
His brother from Chicago was here Sun.
day. and states that he proposes to find
him if he can be found by the Pinkerton
Detective Agency. Mrs. Hills mother,
brother and sister are with her, and she
has the warmest sympathy of all.

RIVE-KlNG CONCERT.

Last Monday night Watertown peo-
pie had the pleasure Of hearing Nine.
Julie Rive King in one of her famous
concerts, and, in spite of the low state Of
the thermometer, most of the seats in
Turner Hall were filled. To attempt to
add fresh laurels to Nine. Rive-King's
reputation would be vain; it is enough
to say that she fully merits the enthusi-
astic praise which has been lavished upon
her, and we only represent the popular
voice in saying that the word satisfaction
but poorly conveys the feeling with
which her playing was received. 1t was
gratifying to observe the large audience
assembled as it gives evidence that our
people are ready to substantially promote
an entertainment of high order.
